Nobody knows how many people Thomas Duncan may have affected outside the hospital community. It only takes one or two. All the so called "experts" have zero experience with Ebola in a large metropolitan city where everyone owns a vehicle or has access to advanced public transportation systems and move around constantly. People living in DFW cover large areas of the city in a very short time and have constant economic interactions throughout the day. Gas stations, stores, restaurants, bars, fast food, kids in schools, people in the office, people pushing those casino buttons at winstar, and the list is endless of people moving around and touching things across DFW. Yall folks stay out of Western Wise County, nothing to see out here!

Maybe we'll get lucky. Maybe not.

And if Ebola spread in the saliva and threw sneezing, it is already airborne transmissible for personal contact distances.
I'm not sure how the U.S. shuts down air travel out of Western Africa. We can control what flights come into the U.S. but that doesn't address people that take non-direct flights.
As far as numbers being under reported, there's no doubt in my mind that is/will be the case here to.

So is that an invite or threat?

Wizard Wells is a good area. Nice place for a self sufficient farm if it's already in operation. If a dozen people get Ebola across DFW I imagine a lot of folks will leave.

The family of the Ebola patient who died in Dallas will receive a cash settlement from the hospital. And look who is happy in the photo.

I'm not surprised. But some how it doesn't seem quite right. I get the feeling I will be paying for a portion of that settlement next time I visit a hospital.

I know if I was thinking of a business model, the destitute desperate customer who needs help and I help the customer to the tune of a couple of million dollars, risk the lives of several of my employees and in the end I am unable to help him, so now, I get to pay him lots of cash. Doesn't seem like a business to get into.

That in a nutshell illustrates much of what has gone wrong in our country.
